The two-man fore-and-aft carry is used to transport a conscious or unconscious casualty and is the preferred two-man carry for moving a casualty for a long distance.

• Position the casualty on his back with his arms by his side.
• The taller of the two bearers kneels at the casualty's head and faces toward the casualty's feet, slides his hands under the casualty's arms and across the casualty's chest, and locks his hands together over the casualty's chest.
• The second bearer spreads the casualty's legs, kneels between the casualty's legs with his back to the other bearer, and grasps under the casualty's knees.
• Both bearers rise together, lifting the casualty.
